The Hornets have hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks and ventured to the Midlands looking to rack up a sixth consecutive win and make it just one defeat in their last seven league games.

After easing to a 4-1 win at Gainsborough Trinity in midweek, Moore's men were always likely to face a sterner test of their credentials at Dales Lane and that came to pass as they found their hosts difficult to break down throughout a tight contest.

However, a last-gasp strike from substitute Joao Gomes maintained Hebburn's remarkable run of form and ensured they end the weekend sitting in third place in the table.
